I don't know about online pages but a search using the keywords "linear algebra" and polygons will probably give you some age worth reaching. Also there are post on this website that cover 3D math.

If you have th emeans I highly recommend that you pick up the book "The Black Art of 3D game programming" by Andre LaMothe. It's really old but it covers all of the 3d math that you need in detail. You could also learn the same thing from a linear algrebra text but it would be more general.

all math used in games is mostly math that you willcome across in your highschool/college years. most of it (untill 3d math) is pretty basic stuff. keyword: ''most''
